That first year of motherhood comes with many gifts.
or, as we might want to call them: existential-crisis-inducing, radical changes.
In the raging seas of so much newness, it’s often impossible to find any sense of calm and order. That first year with your baby is an entirely fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants experience, driven entirely by a tiny human who is inclined towards chaos.
Much of what we do this first year of motherhood is reduced to survival. Our baby is everything — but, where does that leave the oftentimes exhausted, depleted, lonesome moms out there?
.
.
If you’re like most mothers, the year after giving birth is far from the picture-perfect, insta-worthy postpartum experience.
After giving birth to my daughter Jasmine, I was entirely reduced to feelings, both emotional and physical. Whereas I once might have had the time and attention to solve my issues from the root of the problem upwards, I felt as if I was left to deal with the often painful consequences of focusing entirely on another little being, completely alone. Too many times, mothers have to endure these hardships with no true support, and far removed from their own sense of self.
If you’re constantly saying…
…don’t worry. I have felt this way too.
Energy medicine is the way to do more than just survive motherhood, especially when you have no more than 5 minutes to yourself a day.
.
Let’s face it. That first year, almost everything is about the baby ~ as it should be! but Yogease is not focused around your baby. Yogease is about YOU, as a living, breathing, human being who experiences real emotions and feels real feelings. Even if you only have 5 minutes a day, seize those moments in a truly intention way, and shift your whole life.
The emotional labor of motherhood extends far beyond birth, and i know how to help it. I have been meditating and doing yoga for years. When I gave birth to my daughter, I gave up my career as a freelance travel writer to study, deep in my own body and motherly experience, just how meditation, breathwork, and mindful movement can come together to flip the exhaustion and dogma of motherhood on its heads.

I know that you don’t have 45 minutes for a lengthy yoga class that helps you break a sweat, but doesn’t make your head feel any better.
I know that you don’t have 45 minutes to do anything, honestly.
Hell, sometimes not even 20 minutes.
Some days, asking for 10 is too much.
But everyone has 5 minutes.
This is your first Yogease challenge: find it the 5 minutes.
Our solution lies in only 5 minutes.
The solution lies in working with intention. intentionally moving energy, intentionally opening up new channels within our body, intentionally using our breath to change the way we experience our lives. It really only takes 5 minutes to shift everything.
I developed Yogease because I didn’t want to spend more time away from my newborn any more than I had to — I simply wanted to be more present for Jasmine, more in tune with my intuition, and for our ever-so-limited time in this lovely, challenging stage to more meaningful.
There are plenty of happy times in motherhood.
Yogease is not for the happy times.
Yogease is your resource to turn to when you have no idea which way to turn, or need to connect with your inner guide.
Yogease is your emergency remedy when you’re about to freak out because you need to sleep, badly.
Yogease is the way to deeply internalize all the feelings that may arise during that first year of motherhood, and draw from it, the strength to power through to tomorrow with a big, goddamn genuine smile on your face.
Curious about how yoga and meditation can make such lofty, grand promises… and how can I be so confident that yoga can help you? I encourage you to check out my free Yogease pre-course:
The Essence of Yoga and Tantra.
- You desire to find support in many aspects of motherhood but have a hard time finding a team who supports and shares your vision
- You’re constantly seeking forms of development that’s fun and engaging, but takes into account your extreme lack of free, personal time
- You’re a new mother who experiences feelings of detached from reality, mild or extreme
- You are a victim to your own emotions, as well as the moods of your baby, and perhaps even everyone around you. You may identify as an empath.
- You struggle to know and follow your life’s purpose, feeling constantly distracted by people and priorities that are separate from your own.
- You feel uninspired, bored and would describe your daily life as existing without energy or passion
- Your constant waffling amongst your decisions prevents your from feeling fully convicted about anything, feeling lost and without intuition.
- You are constantly riding the waves of extreme feelings such as rage, despair, hate, hopelessness, as well as blissful nirvana.
- You have questions upon questions about your needs and role as a mother, but feel like you have no one to turn to.
- Sleep experts, behavior analysts, and pediatricians seem concerned about you and supporting your life experience, at a mother.
- You aren’t supported by family or friends, because they simply do not understand or they are quick to pass on advice and/or judgment.
- You’ve done all the free postnatal yoga videos out there, but want something more personalized to your experience, to truly help you reach the next level of motherhood.
Then keep reading, girl, because you’ve come to the right place.
.
It’s a treasure trove of concise, effective videos that meets YOU where YOU are. You don’t need to know anything more about yoga and meditation than how you feel at that very moment. All you have to do it recognize what you feel, and allow me to take care of the rest. We’ll do what feels good in the moment, but also create lasting change and shifts in mindset.
From only 5 minutes today, we’ll slowly move from reactionary living to intentional living — yes, even with a newborn in your arms.
You’ll chose from a diverse library of videos that don’t rely on you knowing what you need. You feel your feelings. Then, come to me and lets work on it, together, in a way that feels intuitive and enriches motherhood but immersing ourselves in it, instead of removing ourselves from it.
So, how does Yogease works?
It all begins by getting curious with yourself, and finishing this sentence:
“I need yoga because…”
These aren’t lessons on yogic theory or philosophy. They are real practice, to be experienced in your body. There is no reading or text that can give you only what can be felt through physical practice. Plus, who has time to read anyway?
There’s no one here telling you exactly how to fix your problems — only you can know that.
However, I’ll show you the way to reaching towards your inner light and turning stressors into small glimpses of bliss. Yes, I know that sounds like a big promise. Yes, I intend to make good on this promise ~ for you, and for your family.
All you need to do is identify how you are feeling. Yogease will take care of the rest.

Hi, i’m Rosie and I created Yogease! Amongst many things, I am a yoga teacher, healer, and creative soul who has dedicated her life to understanding the energetic intricacies of the mind, body, and spirit. My yoga teachings bring together poses, meditations, and wellness rituals to encourage students to release limiting thought patterns and embrace the passionate, humble, dynamic, sensual life they’ve been given.
For more than 10 years, my life’s dharma is to share perspectives and ways of thinking that have the humble potential of impacting the world as a whole. However, it wasn’t until I brought my own daughter earthside that I realized that these were useful tools, and healing motherhood was one of the best places to start. My daughter, Jasmine Paradise, was born and it wasn’t long before I felt that I was losing myself: my body, my autonomy, my money, my marriage, my sense of joy. I was suffering from postpartum depression. I was fighting with anyone I could get a rise out of. My baby was growing and time was slipping away. It was from this place of necessity that I dedicated myself to learning how yoga could help me navigate this new, terrifying, lonely road. These are the teachings that helped me find inspiration in motherhood ~ and now, I share them with you.
Reach out and work with Rosie!

Though Yogease is offered almost entirely online and to get in touch with your own inner voice, there are many options for women who desire a more community experience. We prioritize connection to the collective consciousness of motherhood; of which, creation of a ‘village’ is nearly essential.
The Inner Circle is another resource that is available to Yogease members. The Inner Circle is an online group of women, all of whom subscribe to the Soulful Motherhood way to living, dedicated to sharing their journey and supporting one another as they follow their paths. Members are encouraged to be raw and energetically available as they seek wisdom from mothers who have been through this before.
*INSERT TESTIMONIAL HERE*
Another way to engage with Soulful Motherhood is through Yogease’s precourse, The Essence of Yoga and Tantra. If you would love a fundamental education on the philosophies that comprise Yogease’s strategies and practices, this pre-course is a great place to start. Best of all, The Essence of Yoga and Tantra is completely free!
Yogease has more than 100 targeted yoga and meditation videos for you to explore and encourage healing of many physical and emotional ailments of motherhood, but if you are looking for lengthier yoga flows ~ or simply want ever more options ~ check out The Teenie Yogini youtube channel for plenty of free yoga flows and meditations, led by yours truly, Rosie!

- Yogease is for any person, of any gender (specified or non) that identifies as a mother to a human child. It does not matter if you are a first-time mother, a sixth-time mother, an adoptive mother, a mother figure, a person who has given birth, a stay at home mom, a working mother, a single mother, a partnered mother… and including any combination of these and any that are left unlisted. The definition of ‘mother’ is entirely up to you ~ the yoga will change and support you as you are, in any capacity.
- Though Yogease is designed to complement your life after you are approved by a medical professional for normal exercise, movement, and sexual activity, the movements are all designed to be gentle, accessible, and focused mostly on internal attention and breath that vigorous movements. Most breathing exercises are safe to be done immediately after birth. If you are still pregnant, we have prenatal courses available for you! As with any yoga or movement classes, it is your responsibility to move in alignment with your body and listen to her cues. If something does not feel good or goes against your intuition, please do not proceed with that particular practice.
This really hits home for a lot of mothers. There is simply no more time in the day for personal matters than you already have. If it was possible, wouldn’t you have already taken that time and done something productive with it? As they say, yoga is 1% theory and 99% practice. You can know about yoga and its many benefits, but you will never experience those benefits for yourself unless you actually do it. This, for many mothers, will likely be her first Yogease challenge: evaluating her everyday life, going through it with a fine-tooth comb, and finding those spare moment that can be collected and redirected towards her 5 minutes a day of true, uninterrupted self-exploration. It’s possible, for every woman who truly desires it.
Yogease is not a philosphy-heavy membership. There are no long blocks of text to read, or ideas to mull over. Yogic and tantric theory is very much present is Yogease, but on a very subtle level. We engage with yoga through effective, sustained experiences in our body. Once we open our minds and body, deeper understanding has room to flow in. However, if you would love a fundamental education on the philosophies that comprise Yogease’s strategies and practices, the pre-course The Essence of Yoga and Tantra is a great place to start. Best of all, The Essence of Yoga and Tantra is completely free!

Yogease is scheduled to go live in early 2021!
